Deputy Chief Investigator Priscilla Padgett, Investigator Paul Bell and Investigator Weston Fortner spoke to Mr. Whited’s Criminal Justice Class at Northeast Alabama Community College today about Domestic Violence. October is not only Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but also National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. If you or someone you know is a victim please report it.
Although there has been substantial progress in reducing domestic violence, an average of 20 people are physically abused by intimate partners every minute. Domestic Violence not only affects the victim, but also other family members; many times children witness these events.
If you or someone you know is a victim, please call the Alabama Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-650-6522 or our office at 256-845-3801.
